hmmm, flogging a dead horse comes to mind (it just didn't know it was dead until 5 minutes after the race)

This time it was with my wife's hard drive, and included business and personal files that I didn't have backed up. 
After the first time, I could attribute it to a fluke, but twice seems to be a little bit more solid than superstition. Of course, I have a ton of random hard drives without any worthwhile data on them, and those will spin up without a problem after sitting around for years.

Why you keep bacon in the freezer?
ON a more serious note - really?! I have a couple of hard drives sitting at home that are rubbish but have data on - if I only had a bloody computer to put 'em in I might try the freezer thing - any tips? Id you put it in a bag or something?

No, just put it in the freezer for a couple of hours and it spun up. I was able to get a bunch of files off of it, but not a full image.

You put your wife in the freezer? Did it fix her?

You had better make it quick before the nanny state completely standardises the place. And you you get redneck/bogan everywhere!
Don't forget Oz has only 4 major cities and a few minor ones in an area bigger than the US. The UK can fit 3 times into NSW. There is one hell of a lot of EMPTY in the country.
Never underestimate the power of human stupidity

The reality is that Australia more normal and civilised then some of the things you see in the paper. These are just some outback rednecks you get anywhere...

Well, hopefully that can be said of the US as well. However, to some extent, Australia just seems more "relaxed" about things.

While true - we still had kangaroos bounding down our road last week, and we're hardly in the outback.
And Queenslanders still don't have a clue how one should use a roundabout (in the road).

heh - last time I used 'roundabout' in the USA I received strange looks - depending on where you are, 'rotary' may be the preferred term

Stop it. Their stupidity is really starting to get to me. Do they have Round-A-Bout engines over there in their Mazda's?
What you doing in 10.5 days? I'm having a piss up barbie with my very owned self brewed (at a professional facility) keg of beer. Should be picking up 24 brand new schooners tomorrow. Going to have them rotating through the freezer for a fresh crisp beer every time.
If you look for my last post, I have links to the brew place and the Big Rock Traditional Ale I brewed. It's 6% and not 5% in true Aussie tradition.

It is the 15th, train station is 5 - 10 minutes walk depending on how you're going. Do not drive, it will not end well with the amount of piss I have. Spend $262.00+ on spirits and wine and am told I need to get more.

I have a mobile# ending in 55, is that your personal or work# ? Will SMS details when you tell which to use. Hit the Email link to provide further info.
Bring yourself, partner if you have one and want them near me when pissed, no driving and nothing needed for food or drink, all provided. Can get me something if you wish, but it is not a requirement.
Need to start hassling Andy L_J, _Josh_ and Ashley van Gerven. First and last have been over before, haven't found the time during the Aussie wakingnhours to goad them in to it.

And the reality is that a majority of Americans have probably never seen one unless they've gone abroad. With a handful of exceptions where a local traffic planner fell in love with them, they just don't exist here. My TomTom likes to call the one traffic circle nearish to where I live a rotary; but it's a completely different animal than a roundabout (it's squarish with entrances/exits on the flat sides and controlled by stop signs).
Did you ever see history portrayed as an old man with a wise brow and pulseless heart, waging all things in the balance of reason?
Is not rather the genius of history like an eternal, imploring maiden, full of fire, with a burning heart and flaming soul, humanly warm and humanly beautiful?
